You will need to provide a copy of your last school report and / or a reference from an employer or relevant professional. This is to ensure we can support you to be able to achieve well on the course.

In order to determine which GCSE Pathway is most suited to you, we have identified key entry criteria for each pathway.

4 x GCSEs at D/3 or above, or a Level 1 qualification in a relevant subject. Your GCSEs must include either Maths and / or English.
